The association was established in France in 1954.[5]
The group is known for its strict admission standards. In addition to luxurious facilities, members must have special features distinguishing them from chain hotels.[6] Most of them are historic landmarks such as castles, manor houses, or townhouses in idyllic settings and offering exquisite haute cuisine.[7]
Prospective and current members are evaluated by the group's traditional "five C" motto: Caractère, Courtoisie, Calme, Charme et Cuisine (Character, Courtesy, Calm, Charm and Cuisine).[8]
